lyrics

Watch
A billion entities
In perfect unity
Joined in silent march
No banners to unfurl
No sense of self to be
Mechanical and free
To claim this insect world
Destined from birth
To dig through the earth
No questions to ask
They live for the task
Work and feed
Protect the breed
To die for the hive
Is why they're alive
As you watch
their silent march
You ponder the math
The chromosome path
That led them to be
So aloof, can't you see?
The evident analogy
Aren't they just like you and me
Without the pain and misery
Of our "humane" society
Watch...
Watch...
